New Utility Scam/Trunk or Treat Event
The Frankfort Police Department wants to warn everyone (especially business owners) about a new utility company scam. In this scam, the offender calls a business or resident and claims to be from a utility company. They even may use spoofing technology to make the caller ID come up as the utility company. The offender claims that the business or resident owes an outstanding amount on their utility bill and threatens to shut off their utilities if they do not pay their bill immediately. The Offender then tells the customer to avoid a utility shutoff the victim must purchase a green dot money pack to pay them.
